STRONGLY disagree. That leads you with a starting OL of...
Jonah Williams
Jackson Carman
Trey Hopkins
FA RG
Riley Reiff
That's no better than 2021's OL, which was terrible.
Also I think Reiff is better as a superb backup for both T spots than a starting role at this point in his career, as you just can't rely on a guy who hasn't played a full season since 2015. That's a 34-year-old coming off 6 straight years of being banged up/injured. That's a recipe for having Prince as your starting RT again.
Bengals need to stop screwing around with the OL. Re-sign Spain, sign a quality FA C, sign a quality FA RG, draft a RT early. They are likely just an OL away from being SB favorites for the 2022 season.
Championship window is open. Don't F it up by doing halfassed measures on the OL and let Burrow keep getting killed. Including the postseason, Burrow has been sacked 62 times this year (not counting all the numerous other hits or sacks taken away by penalty). That will take years off the backend of his career if you keep letting it happen. I want to watch Burrow play for at least 15 years, take care of business on the OL.
